In this charming memoir, the author recounts his adventures training a mischievous spaniel named Chic for hunting and shooting. With humor and insight, he shares the joys and frustrations of working with a lively and sometimes unpredictable animal, and offers practical tips on how to develop a dog's obedience, stamina, and hunting instincts. Part instructional manual, part personal narrative, this book is a must-read for anyone who loves dogs, shooting, or both.
